SADALAS HAND EMBROIDERY

Tuesday, 21 January 2014

When my DD asked me to do some embroidery for her plane kurthi(may be the first time she asked me) i felt happy and planned a project with mogga kuttu like the same one I did couple of years ago which was worn out now. So transferred the design by chaapa method. To my bad luck i did mistake by adding more kerosene so that the design got smudged and difficult for me to stitch. but still mange to stitch 2 bits and finally I gave up. Washed it and went for this simple pachis work.
you can find how to transfer the design on to the fabric by chaapa method in my blog.
Tutorial for this stitch was given here.
and my two old projects here and here.

pistil stitch, french knots

As I have no plans to work on a particular project and rayon threads are expensive comparing to cone threads I thought to add more Brazilian stitches done with cone threads. They are called as dimensional embroidery.

I did one more kutch work on a cotton material for Kurthi. Inspired by Sangeetha's kutch work in hand embroidery group I did this. Sarika and Usha helped me with their designs. Thank you all..I have used 4 strands of silk thread for kutch work and 4 strands for herringbone stitch. And I did few flowers with chained cretan triangles(muvvala kuttu). I am sorry the real colour of the fabric is not showing properly in the photoes.
